Not sure who came up with this "not so brilliant", pretty much awful idea. Nurses are already leaving in the nursing profession in droves. Guaranteed this will make it much worse.

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

This made up data needs to be public and discussed by experts. It likely nonsense and was released days before ACIP meets to justify whatever RFK has decided new vaccine policy will be. Prob denying COVID vax to kids entirely. ACIP meets on DEC 2-3.
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”
